CRAP CRAP CRAP... Fab nanny just resigned...

[AtheneNoctua]

Now I have to find a new one to start on 2nd Jan. What timeing! This is going to be very difficult I fear.

And the new visas, on jeez, someone remind where to begin with that bearocratic mountain. Maybe I'll have to go with an EU candidate. So much for English as a first language. Bugger.

And everyone please come give me loads of sympathy.

Okay, must calm myself and go reactive ads on the usual nanny hunting sites.

And who the heck are you, IAMNOTHERE? There is not CAT in my inbox and I can not take the suspense.

sorry for your loss AtheneNoctua.
Will keep an eye out for anyone looking for a job in your area. At least Canadians can apply to come to the UK under the new Tier5 rules, but not sure you want your new nanny to be the guinea-pig trying out the new immigration system. So on this occasion you may need to look closer to home.

Oh AN, NOOOOO! "Twas always my nightmare in nanny days to come home to a resignation. Thankfully only happened once! Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

You are exactly right Nannynick. I am looking to the EU because I don't want to be the first to embark on the new visa rules. Although I am secretly wanting anice Japanese nanny who could make me fab sushi and and yummy low fat noodle soups. Ah.... my mouth is watering as I type. Maybe when I'm ready for my first au pair in a year and they have worked out this visa process.

One thing I know about this new visa is that the employer has to sponser them, and I'm not sure I'm willing to take on the responsibility.

Anyway... all eyes on EU candidates fnd full speed ahead on the nanny recruit.

Athene, hire me! Could cook your family a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, tutor your children if required, teach them about their American heritage....

Oh, well. Can dream. Have 2 children and live in Bristol...

Loved the John Cain comment post election that he was, 'sleeping like a baby... waking up every 2 hours, crying etc...'

Good news... she is staying.

Ooh, great!

She was going to go home because she felt she needed to be there for some family "issues" (and out of respect for her that is all I will say on what the issues are). But, she talked wo her grandparents who said the situations wasn't that and there wasn't a need for her to rush home.

But, I learned one interesting tid bit. When nanny was a child these same grandparents won the lottery and bought each of their five kids a house. How cool is that?!

That's great news. Hadn't read all the posts and sent you an email so please ignore (unless you know anyone else looking!).

Oh, I might. I'll go check out the e-mail.
